Sum value (budget) in grouped view

[Slamdunker23]

Hi community, as you can see in the image, I have several tasks with budget values. How can I display the sum of the budget within the grouped view?



Thank you.

Since it's difficult to determine the exact field configuration from the image alone, I tried to replicate it as closely as possible. If the Budget in the master project is stored in a custom Cost1 field, wouldn't setting it to "Sum" as shown in the video work just fine?

Hi, this is exactly what I am looking for. I was told in the Microsoft Q&A that this is not possible with a dynamic master, in which I included several subprojects.

Here is the link to the discussion: How to see sum values for grouped view in MS project? - Microsoft Q&A

What have you done differently?

I appreciate. Thank you.

I followed the same approach I’ve always used in the dynamic master project.
At this point, I don’t have a reference to compare against, so I’m unable to explain what might have been done differently.
If you could send me your sample dynamic master project along with the sub-projects via email, I’ll take a look and let you know what’s different.
Please feel free to email me if you'd like to discuss the differences and how we can resolve them. ineejuatyahoodotcom

Hi ineeju,

Thank you again for your help and support. I prefer answering here in the forum. Maybe someelse is interested into this topic.

Now I have a bit more understanding why I need VBA for such requirement. Because this is not possible in my situation I need to have a workaround. I will figure this out within the next weeks and if I need any more support, I will contact you again.

All the best, Daniel
